Heart Of The Matter

With my eyes, I have held a million lovers

But in my heart, I have held just a few

But I never touched the heart of the matter

'Cause my heart never mattered till I gave my heart to you

In my head, I have heard the songs a-ringing

With my pen, I have captured one or two

But I never found the reason to be singing

'Cause singing never mattered till I sang my songs to you

Dry your eyes, come lay down beside me

Realize this is where I want to be

You and I are the heart of the matter

And the love we share together will set our spirits free

Will set our spirits free

So tonight, if my voice is kinda shaky

Understand it's my soul comin' through

'Cause in your hands is the heart of the matter

And my heart never mattered till I handed it to you

Dry your eyes, come lay down beside me

Realize this is where I want to be

You and I are the heart of the matter

And the love we share together will set our spirits free

Will set our spirits free
